Erin Brockovich Demands Transparency in Data Center Construction

Erin Brockovich, whose story inspired the film starring Julia Roberts, has launched an interactive map of U.S. data centers. The project collects reports from local residents about issues related to these facilities. According to the activist, the primary complaint is the lack of transparency: residents often learn about construction only after permits are approved.

The website notes that the map is still under development and relies on citizen reports. Brockovich emphasizes that she is not opposed to data centers or AI technologies in general but criticizes the practice of implementing projects without prior public discussion.

Key resident concerns include noise pollution, excessive water consumption, and rising utility costs. However, the core issue remains the lack of information: developers avoid public engagement, while officials sign non-disclosure agreements before announcing projects.
